Wheel Alignment Analysis


vitagen

Recommended Posts

Okay ive done 2 wheel alignments so far and they seem to have the same problem!

1) They could only manage to fix my front toe to basically 0.0 mm

2) they however cannot fix by front/rear camber and its basically stuck to about ~-0.3 degrees for front

and about -1 degree for the rear

3) my rear right toe is + 3.6 mm! but they cant seem to fix it as well

4) my front castor is pretty bad at about +3 degrees

i just stuckk in new tyres and i want them to last, i was wondering how i can fix the castor and camber problems?

i've lowered my car on king low springs and running stock shocks

thanks!

correct me if im wrong :huh: but i do believe that the castor is not adjustable on our cars :unsure:

cant explain the toe yO

and the camber sounds about right, as when u lower any type of car u get a 'natural' amount of neg camber, so those settings u have got seem to be acceptable

1) They could only manage to fix my front toe to basically 0.0 mm

Is that cross toe or indivual toe? I have a cross toe of 0mm and an individual toe of 0.5mm.

If anything you want a slight toe in, gives the car more stability.

2) they however cannot fix by front/rear camber and its basically stuck to about ~-0.3 degrees for front

and about -1 degree for the rear

I have ~-0.65* front camber and -1* rear.

You want some camber since when you corner the outside wheels are the loaded ones. This coupled with the body roll will cause the outside wheel to (hopefully) be at right angles to road giving better grip.

3) my rear right toe is + 3.6 mm! but they cant seem to fix it as well

I have +2.2mm, but the left is pretty much the same so I'm not worried.

4) my front castor is pretty bad at about +3 degrees

Thats what I have.

Caster is designed into the steering to give better feel, a self return-to-center feature and to give more stability.

I'm absolutely positive that all the setting you have on your car are perfectly fine and the factory settings.

if you had the camber at 0 degrees you would find the car harder to turn in

if you had the castor at 0 degrees you would find that braking efficency is reduced
